Unless Alex Wood went down to the bullpen to heat up, yes I think it is.

Not necessarily. Roberts' only mistake was going to a reliever who was home run prone on the season.
That changed the tone of the bullpen and the game.

A smoking line drive by Turner caught by Bregman.

Two outs.  Bottom of the 11th.

Home run!!!

"This game is crazy."

That home run was by Colberson.  I do not know the spelling.

Puig batting.

The game should have been over.  That was a swing by Puig.

Puig strikes out swinging on an epic at-bat and the Astros win it, 7-6. The Series is even,
we'll see you in Houston!

Got 'em

4 hours, 19 minutes.

7-6 Astros.

I was finally correct when I texted it would be a one-run series.  At least tonight it was.

Great game!

Thank you, Easy!  I do hope some people could read along and "feel" the game.

I honestly don't know whether they played this game in Dodger Stadium or in Bellevue!

I'll have my essay about it for you all in the morning, after that kind of lunacy I've got to get me
a wind-down and some sleep!

My side lost. But I enjoyed a good MLB game.

Have not watched a single pro football game.

Watched the US Grand Prix last weekend, from COTA, Austin (televised).

Looking forward to the curling season.

Now while curling, do not get caught in a hack on the hog line, otherwise you will be swept. LOL!

Years ago in Newport Beach, CA, there was a lawn bowling court.  I suppose that could be fun, too!

Have a great night!  The game was a thriller until the last moment!

Vin Scully throws out the ceremonial first pitch

Darn it!  I hate to have missed that.   :(

I saw that a couple of posts down-thread!  Oh, well, I still hate to have missed Vin, even if he didn't actually throw it.
